We’ve been hard at work making stability improvements WPtouch, WPtouch Pro, and it’s core extensions over the past few months. Our goal has been to stabilize the core plugin as much as possible so it is easier to launch new features and more exciting updates.

Here is some of what’s been updated since our last blog post WPtouch Pro 4.3.10:

Sneak Peak into the future

In addition to the WPtouch core updates, we’ve been working on updates to our MobileStore theme and the AMP extension. Keep an eye on the blog here since there will be an update post once the updates are ready and available for you to get.

This was a release focused on speed. Our goal is to deliver the best mobile solution for your WordPress site and, to date, our focus on page speed has revolved around our proprietary server-side technology that optimizes your WordPress site for mobile devices before your users download the content.

With this release, we took a much-needed look at client-side enhancements to page speed. We conducted a front-end speed audit of the core plugin and each of the themes to identify where we could improve the performance and load time of every site using WPtouch.

Speed audit in hand, our growing development team buckled down and took the necessary steps towards making the plugin and themes faster than ever. And this is just the beginning! We have a few more ideas and updates planned that will continue to increase the speed of your mobile website.
